OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Mr. Bush,

This open letter is coming from my heart. I want you to know that
I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and that this is not an
attempt to "bash the Government".

You Mr. Bush should be held responsible and liable for any and all
acts that were committed to aid in any "cover up" of the tragic
events of September 11, 2001. As President you have a duty to protect
the American people. On September 11th you did not instruct your
staff to issue a nationwide emergency warning/alert to advise us
of the attack on America. We had to receive the news of the attacks
via the news networks.

In the months leading up to the attacks you were repeatedly advised
of a possible attack on American soil. During your daily intelligence
briefings you were given information that had been uncovered that
the very real possibility existed that certain undesirable elements
would use commercial aircraft to destroy certain "target" buildings.
You never warned the American people of this possible threat. Who
were you protecting?

When you took no responsibility towards protecting the general
public from the possibility of attack, you were certainly not
upholding the oath you spoke when you took office. In that oath you
pledged to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.

On the morning of the attack, you and members of your staff were
fully aware of the unfolding events yet you chose to continue on
to the Emma E. Booker Elementary School to proceed with a scheduled
event and "photo op". While our nation was under attack you did not
appear to blink an eye or shed a tear. You continued on as if
everything was "business as usual".

In the days following the attacks all air traffic was grounded and
Americans, including myself, were stranded wherever they had been
when the flight ban was imposed. I was stranded at Midway Airport
in Chicago, unable to continue on to California for my daughter's
wedding. Imagine my surprise when I later found out that during
this "no fly" period a number of people were flown out of the country
on a 747 with Arabic lettering on the fuselage. None of these people
were interviewed or questioned by any local, State or Federal
agencies. Why were they allowed to leave and who exactly was on
that flight. We know for a fact that some of the people on the
flight were members of (or related to) the royal family of Saudi
Arabia and members of the Bin Laden family. Were these people allowed
to leave because of the long-standing relationships that your family
has with both families?

It is my belief that you intentionally allowed 9/11 to happen to
gather public support for a "war on terrorism". These wars, in
Afghanistan and Iraq, have not accomplished what you stated were
your goals. Why have you not captured Osama Bin Laden? Where are
Saddam's weapons of mass destruction? All that has happened is a
bill that is passed before Congress for 87 billion dollars to rebuild
what you ordered blown to bits. As an American who lost a loved one
in the "war on terror" I do pray and support our troops who were
sent to Afghanistan and Iraq by you. These troops have and will
continue to die for your lies. As an American I can make this
statement as it appears that associates of your family may stand
to prosper from the rebuilding of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Mr. Bush the time has come for you to stop your control over us.
Stop blocking the release of certain evidence and documents that
were discovered by the 9/11 Investigation Commission if you have
nothing to hide proving you did not fail to act and prevent the
attacks of 9/11.  Your reason for not releasing this material is
that it is a matter of "national security". When in fact I believe
that it is your personal credibility/security that you are concerned
with. You do not want the public to know the full extent of your
responsibility and involvement.

After 9/11 the Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act were passed.
Both of these allow the government to tap your telephone, search
your home, and seize whatever they feel they need to do on a whim.
They can do this without a judge's review or a warrant. I feel that
this is in direct conflict with our rights as stated in the
Constitution and Bill of Rights.

We the families of 9/11 victims need to have answers to the following
questions:

1.         Why were 29 pages of the 9/11committee report personally
censored at your request?

2.         Where are the "black boxes" from Flight 11 and Flight
175?

3.         Where are the "voice recorders" from Flight 11 and Flight
175?

4.         Why can't we gain access to the complete air traffic
control records for Flight 11 and Flight 175?

5.         Where are the airport surveillance tapes that show the
passengers boarding the doomed flights?

6.         When will complete passenger lists for all of the flights
be released?

7.         Why did your brother Jeb (the Governor of Florida) go
to the offices of the Hoffman Aviation School and order that flight
records and files be removed? These files were then put on a C130
government cargo plane and flown out of the country. Where were
they taken and who ordered it done?

It has been over two years since hundreds of our lost loved ones
"remains" have still yet to be identified and their remains placed
in a landfill at Fresh Kill. We want our heroes brought back and
given a public and proud resting place where we all can pay our
respects and honor them. These innocent people never had a chance
as they were taken from us on that sad September Day.

In the court of public opinion Mr. Bush, your lies are being uncovered
each day. My husband, all of the other victims and their families
and our nation as a whole, has been victimized by your failed
leadership prior to and after 9/11!

I will prove this in a court of law!
